On November 19, 2018, the OffPeak program that provides extended gate hours at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, commonly known as PierPASS 2.0, will take effect.

PierPASS 2.0 includes a new appointment-based system that uses a single flat fee on both daytime and nighttime container moves. This system replaces the current congestion-pricing model, which includes the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) charged on daytime moves. (Source: www.pierpass.org/)

Highlighted changes included in PierPass 2.0 are as follows:

Appointments Required for All Import Container Pickups

Beginning November 19th, all marine container terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will require appointments.

Appointments are to be made through the terminal systems, not through PierPASS.
